Find files in directory

coldstarhk · #1 (**permalink**) 09-28-2008

Hi all
I want to find a particular file type lets say .abc under /home/oracle/, the file name is start with 'D' and followed by ddmmyyyy date format, the file name should look like this D19092008.abc To my question, how can i perform the searching from the date 19/09/2008 to 29/09/2008. The folder contains many files, to speed up the searching, i tried the following script :
for i in `find /home/oracle/ -name D*.abc`
Can i set the date range to the file name?

Regards

Last 10 days file you may use this script

Code:

find /home/oracle/D -mtime -20 | grep .abc

Why find when you can list the content/time range?

Code:

$ ls /home/oracle/D{19..29}092008.abc 2>/dev/null

Thanks danmero, it works prefectly with your script, however, when i try to convert to this

Code:

for j in `ls /home/oracle/D{$day1..$day2}*.abc 2>/dev/null`
